Kinepolis Brussels
Kinepolis Brussels is a cinema complex on the Heysel in Brussels owned by the Kinepolis Group.
History[]
It opened in 1988 as the first branch of the cinema chain and, with its 25 screens, was both the first and the largest megaplex cinema in the world.[1][2][3][4]
The IMAX in the Brussels Kinepolis complex was open from 1988 until the end of 2005. The hall was closed due to a shortage of available content. On November 16, 2016, Kinepolis announced the reopening of the hall. It is equipped with laser projection and IMAX's new 12.1 sound technology. At the time, the screen was the largest IMAX screen in Europe with an surface of 532m².[5][6][7]
